Ricer kill and something horrible...

I've had a busy day today. I had to drive to Massachusets twice, so I got a lot of highway driving in. On my way home (pretty late at night) on I-95 a guy in a V6 Accord Coupe with pretty damn dark tinted windows, weird spoiler, and some stickers (I'm guessing it was all stock other than that, but I don't know for sure) starts messing with me. I was pretty much just cruising since it was pretty late and I was tired, but this is guy is speeding up in the lane next to me, passing me out, slowing down in front of me, pulling up along side of me, etc. After about five minutes of this I got fed up and pulled up along side of him. Of course, as soon as I did he floored it (we were going about 65 at this point). I did too, and after like a second I started pulling on him. And kept pulling. I killed it when I got to around 105 (driving over 100mph on a two lane highway that gets narrow in a lot of sections makes me nervous...) and the guy was pretty far behind me. He kept going and blew by me a second or two later and kept going up the road way too fast. Five minutes later I see him on the side of the road with a cop parked behind him.

I thought THAT was pretty funny, but when I got off of the highway in New Haven a guy in a Kia Rio starts revving his engine at me at a stoplight. I didn't bother with that. As a matter of fact, I was laughing so hard when he squealed his tires when the light turned green that I completely forgot to take my foot off the break for a couple of seconds. And then I beat him as I rolled away from the light (just kidding, of course, but I probably could've if I started rolling when he peeled off ).

By the way, if it matters... I'm still stock.

I hope you slowed down a bit as you were passing this scene and gave the Honda guy a nice for his efforts.

Less than 100, I think. It's a tiny car, but that's beside the point.

That was wise of you to slow down and just chill or both of you guys would have been getting tickets. Good kill and good run!!! and by the way I was at this place called the lake front and a Ford Focus with a big tip exhaust just reving his car at me, I didnt even bother my wife is like whats wrong with him? I told her he dont want none of this and just rolled by slowly past him, such idiot!!

Thanks. And yep... I mean, there's nothing wrong with people buying Kia's or whatever. But I can't stand it when they try to act cool and mess with cars that have about three times their power.
